I have been using Dell ink for years and think the results are outstanding. Both the color ink is outstanding when use for pictures and graphic illustration. The pictures come out so true to the original color. Dell ink is the only one for me.

Haven't used it long, but am already down to 45%. To me that isn't a very good deal. I've only printed around 71 pages of a book I've written. I still have over 150 more pages to go. I've ordered the high quality cartridge from the company and will see if it's any better. As a writer I can't afford to run out of ink in the middle of a project, especially when I need several copies done. I guess that the standard cartridge would be fine for smaller projects, but I'm not positive on that. The quality is still good with the standard ink though, and I would recommend it if you have the extra money to spend on ink. I just wouldn't try to print more than a 100 pages with only one cartridge.

Aside from the fact that my Dell printer will only use this ink, it does perform very well. Edges are crisp. No fuzzy edges even on less expensive paper. Easy loading. It's pricey, but then all printer ink is expensive. My only complaint is that the finished copy smears easily with moisture or oil-like hands with hand cream on. But this is also endemic to ink jets. Although my printer is older, the quality is hugely better than other ink jets I've seen, probably because the Dell ink is a better ink..
